Collection and processing of raw ingredients
Two nutritionally superior millets, namely ragi and barnyard millet were selected as major ingredients and were collected from the wholesale market. The millets were cleaned and malted after soaking in water for 10 hrs followed by germination for 24 hrs. The germinated millets were then roasted, powdered and sieved to get a uniform flour. Twenty five per cent of the total ingredients were fixed as protein source (PS) (Wheat flour- 10%, Defatted soya flour -10%, Skimmed milk powder - 5%) of the composite mix in all the treatments and were collected from the local market. Garden cress seeds were the functional ingredients used in the nutrimixes and incorporated at 5 per cent and 10 per cent levels

All the treatments were subjected to organoleptic evaluation. Nutritionally superior treatments like T2, T6 and T8obtained higher scores of 7.3, 8.2 and 7.4 respectively. T6 obtained the highest organoleptic scores and its nutritional qualities were almost comparable to T2.
Hence, considering superior organoleptic and nutritional qualities, T6 (55%MRF+ 25%PS+ 5%S+ 5%MBF+ 10%GCS) was found to be the best combination.
Millets play an important role in the development of value added products. Snehal et al. (2012) developed a drink with 30 per cent garden cress seed powder, skimmed milk and sugar was found to be highly acceptable with an overall consumer acceptability of 8.75.
Parvathy et al. (2015) developed nutrient rich health mix, which was suitable for all age groups and the overall composite score for acceptability of the health mix was 8.3.
Conclusion
Adolescence is the most vulnerable period in human life cycle. Nutrition plays a vital role in achieving growth and development required for this stage of life. The present study concluded that nutrient rich nutrimix combinations can be formulated as supplementary foods for adolescents. The developed nutrimix was superior in nutritional qualities and was highly acceptable. Minor millets can be effectively utilised for the development of supplementary foods. The developed nutrimix can be popularized to combat malnutrition among
According to the three-day nutritional report, my RDA intake is not accordingly to a desirable nutrition; I have deficiencies under micronutrients as well as macronutrients. In order to understand this procedure, I decided to break everything down by discussing all of the nutrients that fall below 80%. The goal is to recognize the factors that are affecting a desirable nutrition as well as to identify the food groups that will improve my nutritional health.
We can also find this product has become a very important element in terms of influencing people, we can see how customers buying it as a gift for friends and family. People nowadays are more considering the usage and healthy materials which is worth spending money for, people are more focused and cautious in choosing a product rather than just judging by the pretty surface packaging which does no good at all.

Nutrition is the process of consuming food and utilizing the nutrients from the food eaten (“Nutrition.”). It is very important to have enough nutrition for a growing teenager as it helps to develop and strengthen the bones along with growth and development (“Adolescent and School Health.”). Nutrition is very vital for the growing body as it helps prevent certain diseases and helps give the proper development and nourishment (HAGIKALFA). There are multiple nutrients that help maintain development and nutrition such as carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and water. If there was a lack of nutrition in a growing teenager, the teenager will not be able to have enough nutrition to grow and they will be more prone to sickness and diseases (“Hunger and Malnutrition.”). A malnourished teenager will may end up having muscle weakness, fatigue, dizziness, fragile bones, tooth decay, and much more (“Hunger and Malnutrition.”).

Now when you actually start doing your research on this kind of topic, you begin to find out a lot of things that you didn’t know or that you thought you knew about when it comes to the food industry. “Manufacturers who need their tomato sauce to be thick enough not to leak out of its plastic carton and just a little bit glossy, so that it doesn’t look matt and old after several days in the fridge were sold the advantages of Microlys, a “cost effective” specialty starch that gives “shiny, smooth surface and high viscosity”, or Pulpiz, Tate & Lyle’s tomato “pulp extender”. Based on modified starch, it gives the same pulpy visual appeal as an all-tomato sauce, while using 25% less tomato paste. Blythman, Joanna. "Inside the Food Industry: the Surprising Truth about What You Eat." Http://www.theguardian.com. N.P., 21 Feb. 2015. Web. 29 Oct. 2015. Somehow the food industry has their way of fooling people and making their food taste so good that you have the slightest idea of we are putting in our bodies let alone the food that’s being consumed. Also, stated in the article, “For the salesman, this preparation was a technical triumph, a boon to caterers who would otherwise waste unsold food. There was a further benefit: NaturalSeal is classed as a processing aid, not an ingredient, so there’s no need to declare it on the label, no obligation to tell consumers that their “fresh” fruit salad is weeks old”.

In order to understand McDonald's structure and culture and why they continue to be the world's largest restaurant chain we conducted a SWOT analysis that allowed us to consider every dimension involved in the business level and corporate level strategies.
Fast food chains, the main problem responsible for multiple health problems around the world has still not changed any of their ingredients or additives to make a positive change. Fast food meals have been linked to multiple health problems. Such health problems like heart diseases, which is the leading cause of death of men and woman in the United States. Fast food has also been linked to obesity, due to the high amount of fat and carbohydrates found in their meals. An equivalent aspect is the additives added to fast food like trans-fat and sodium, which are both linked to leading to multiple health problems. Yet fast food chains have not done anything in regards to all of this health problems. Fast food chains are still harming the public
Overall, Whole Foods Market is financially strong even though gross margins may fall in the future. According to Bradley Seth McNew, Whole Foods Market is in the best cash position of any of its competitors. With almost zero debt, Whole Foods' operating cash flow could cover its long-term debt more than 246 times. Compare that to just 0.62 times for Sprouts Farmers Market, which has over $400 million in debt with only $180 million in operating cash flow (McNew, 2015).

America is a capitalist society. It should come to a surprise when we live like this daily. We work for profit. We’ll buy either for pleasure or to sell later for profit. It should come to no surprise that our food is made the same way because we are what we eat. We are capitalist that eat a capitalist meal. So we must question our politics. Is our government system to blame for accepting and encouraging monopolies?
Nutrition assessments include clinical and dietary assessment, anthropometrics, as well as biochemical, laboratory immunologic and functional indices of nutritional status (Gibney, 2005). In epidemiological studies, different dietary investigation tools were designed to assess the nutritional status in individuals and populations, nutrition monitoring and surveillance and diet-disease research (Friedenreich, et al., 1992, Taren, 2002).
Today, more and more people pay attention to healthy lifestyle. People are not only concerned about whether you can eat, people are more concerned about whether you eat healthy. People attach so much importance in the diet of healthy, they understand the nutritional value of things is even more important. Only specific understanding of the nutritional value of food can only be a better choice for their own healthy living. But a lot of people for some very common nutritional value of foods often have a wrong understanding. I think that people in the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle before, should pay attention to the nutritional value of different foods.
